Read/Write values

with ExtProcess.ctx_open(process_name) as p:
  # write
  p.write.list_bytes(address, [0x90, 0x90])

Simple dll injector x32/x64

with ExtProcess.ctx_open(process_name) as p:
  dll_path = os.path.abspath('lib.dll')
  loadlib_func = get_proc_address('kernel32', 'LoadLibraryA', x64=p.is_x64_process())
  param = p.alloc()
  p.write.str(param, dll_path)
  with p.ctx_create_thread(loadlib, param, wait_thread=True) as th_id:
      pass

Signature scanner. IDA Style

exe_module = p.get_module()
client_module = p.get_module('client.dll')

# .text:00428873 8D 4D F0          lea ecx, [ebp+var_10]
# .text:00428876 E8 05 4E FE FF    call 0x40D680

# E8 ? ? ? ? - it's instruction call 0x40D680
signature = "8D 4D F0 E8 ? ? ? ?" 

# equal: find_pattern(signature) + 3
sig_in_all_module: Ptr = client_module.find_pattern(signature, add_offset=3)
sig_in_code_section: Ptr = client_module.section('.text').find_pattern(signature, 3)

# for read relative offset from call instruction you can simple do this
adr = sig_in_code_section.go_call_ptr().get_address()
# same for jmp, je and etc inctructions: .go_jmp_ptr(), .go_jmp_short_ptr()

Shellcode injection. Using nasm(need add in to PATH environment variable directory with nasm.exe)

        t.write.bytes(code_decrement_health, nasm(f'''jmp {hex(new_code)}\nnop\nnop''', 64, hex(code_decrement_health)))
